Spay and Neuter Clinics on Majuro
Donation protected
Marshall Islands Organization for Animal Welfare (MIOAW) is raising funds to bring Veterinarians for a spay and neuter clinic in January. There is no vet on island and the last clinic was in November 2016.
Mioaw is proud to be hosting Visiting Veterinarians International in January. They will be conducting spay and neuter clinics, conducting wellness clinics and vaccinating the dogs and cats on Majuro. Visiting Veterinarians will be donating their time and providing their own transportation to the Marshall Islands as well as donating many of the medications that are greatly needed.
In order to control the overpopulation of stray dogs, the dogs are clubbed to death, many times in front of women and children. Dog bites are on the rise. Stray cats spread disease by contaminating water supplies. and damage the coral reefs. Stray and roaming dogs and cats are usually poorly cared for and are often carriers of disease. Many diseases of animals, including dogs and cats, are zoonotic diseases (diseases that can be transmitted from animals to people).
Of course, stray animals also pose a threat to pets. Parasites and highly contagious diseases such as canine distemper, parvovirus enteritis and feline AIDS are readily spread across the community by these animals.
Any dog that does not have a collar or license is at risk to be clubbed to death. Mioaw distributes dog collars and tags at no charge to the public to help keep the dogs safe.
Mioaw is a registered NGO in the Marshall Islands. We are non-profit.
MIOAW is responsible for housing and meals and local transportation for the January clinic. We are asking for donations from animal lovers like you to help our furry friends. Any amount is greatly appreciated and tax deductible!
Visiting Veterinarians is a 501 (c) (3) and Marshall Islands Organization is a registered NGO (Non governmental organization). Receipt for donations provided.
